Robert E. Wright - The First Wall Street, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and the Birth of American F inance (2009).jpg

01 - USA - Robert E. Wright - The First Wall Street, Chestnut Str..., Philadelphia, and the Birth of American Finance 2009.jpg

When Americans think of investment and finance, they think of Wall Street—though this was not always the case. During the dawn of the Republic, Philadelphia was the center of American finance. The first stock exchange in the nation was founded there in 1790, and around it the bustling thoroughfare known as Chestnut Street was home to the nation's most powerful financial institutions.

The First Wall Street recounts the fascinating history of Chestnut Street and its forgotten role in the birth of American finance. According to Robert E. Wright, Philadelphia, known for its cultivation of liberty and freedom, blossomed into a financial epicenter during the nation's colonial period. The continent's most prodigious minds and talented financiers flocked to Philly in droves, and by the eve of the Revolution, the Quaker City was the most financially sophisticated region in North America. The First Wall Street reveals how the city played a leading role in the financing of the American Revolution and emerged from that titanic struggle with not just the wealth it forged in the crucible of war, but an invaluable amount of human capital as well.

This capital helped make Philadelphia home to the Bank of the United States, the U.S. Mint, an active securities exchange, and several banks and insurance companies—all clustered in or around Chestnut Street. But as the decades passed, financial institutions were lured to New York, and by the late 1820s only the powerful Second Bank of the United States upheld Philadelphia's financial stature. But when Andrew Jackson vetoed its charter, he sealed the fate of Chestnut Street forever—and of Wall Street too.

Finely nuanced and elegantly written, The First Wall Street will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the United States and the origins of its unrivaled economy.

Tracey E. W. Laird - Louisiana Hayride, Radio and Roots Music along the Red River (2004).jpg

On a Saturday night in 1948, Hank Williams stepped onto the stage of the Louisiana Hayride and sang "Lovesick Blues." Up to that point, Williams's yodeling style had been pigeon-holed as hillbilly music, cutting him off from the mainstream of popular music. Taking a chance on this untried artist, the Hayride--a radio "barn dance" or country music variety show like the Grand Ole Opry--not only launched Williams's career, but went on to launch the careers of well-known performers such as Jim Reeves, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells, Johnny Cash, and Slim Whitman. Broadcast from Shreveport, Louisiana, the local station KWKH's 50,000-watt signal reached listeners in over 28 states and lured them to packed performances of the Hayride's road show. By tracing the dynamic history of the Hayride and its sponsoring station, ethnomusicologist Tracey Laird reveals the critical role that this part of northwestern Louisiana played in the development of both country music and rock and roll. Delving into the past of this Red River city, she probes the vibrant historical, cultural, and social backdrop for its dynamic musical scene. Sitting between the Old South and the West, this one-time frontier town provided an ideal setting for the cross-fertilization of musical styles. The scene was shaped by the region's easy mobility, the presence of a legal "red-light" district from 1903-17, and musical interchanges between blacks and whites, who lived in close proximity and in nearly equal numbers. The region nurtured such varied talents as Huddie Ledbetter, the "king of the twelve-string guitar," and Jimmie Davis, the two term "singing governor" of Louisiana who penned "You Are My Sunshine." Against the backdrop of the colorful history of Shreveport, the unique contribution of this radio barn dance is revealed. Radio shaped musical tastes, and the Hayride's frontier-spirit producers took risks with artists whose reputations may have been shaky or whose styles did not neatly fit musical categories (both Hank Williams and Elvis Presley were rejected by the Opry before they came to Shreveport). The Hayride also served as a training ground for a generation of studio sidemen and producers who steered popular music for decades after the Hayride's final broadcast. While only a few years separated the Hayride appearances of Hank Williams and Elvis Presley--who made his national radio debut on the show in 1954--those years encompassed seismic shifts in the tastes, perceptions, and self-consciousness of American youth. Though the Hayride is often overshadowed by the Grand Ole Opry in country music scholarship, Laird balances the record and reveals how this remarkable show both documented and contributed to a powerful transformation in American popular music.

01 - USA - Helen R. Adams, Elizabeth Barry-Kessler, Carol A. Gordo...Issues for Public, School, and Academic Libraries 2005.jpg

Concentrating on privacy issues in public, school and academic libraries, this title pays particular attention to the effect of technology on personal privacy in these settings. In depth discussions of the laws effecting personal privacy and privacy in library settings will be explored. Recent laws enacted that impact individual privacy are discussed and explained. Special attention is given to the USA Patriot Act. Appendices with core privacy documents, sample privacy and confidentiality policies and outlines for privacy audits to be implemented in staff training situations in all types of libraries will add to the practicality of the book for individual librarians. It will be both a helpful handbook and a guide to encourage further study on these complex issues. Of particular interest is the impact of personal privacy on issues of accessibility to online databases and other online information in academic libraries.

Michael Schaller - Altered States, The United Stat es and Japan since the Occupation (1997).jpg

The relationship between the United States and Japan is torn by contrary impulses. We face each other across the Pacific as friends and allies, as the two most powerful economies in the world--and as suspicious rivals. Americans admire the industry of the Japanese, but we resent the huge trade deficit that has developed between us, due to what we consider to be unfair trade practices and "unlevel playing fields." Now, in Altered States, historian Michael Schaller strips away the stereotypes and misinformation clouding American perceptions of Japan, providing the historical background that helps us make sense of this important relationship.Here is an eye-opening history of U.S.-Japan relations from the end of World War II to the present, revealing its rich depths and startling complexities. Perhaps Schaller's most startling revelation is that modern Japan is what we made it--that most of what we criticize in Japan's behavior today stems directly from U.S. policy in the 1950s. Indeed, as the book shows, for seven years after the end of the war, our occupational forces exerted enormous influence over the shape and direction of Japan's economic future. Stunned by the Communist victory in China and the outbreak of war in Korea, and fearful that Japan might form ties with Mao's China, the U.S. encouraged the rapid development of the Japanese economy, protecting the huge industrial conglomerates and creating new bureaucracies to direct growth. Thus Japan's government-guided, export-driven economy was nurtured by our own policy. Moreover, the United States fretted about Japan's economic weakness--that they would become dependent on us--and sought to expand Tokyo's access to markets in the very areas it had just tried to conquer, the old Co Prosperity Sphere. Schaller documents how, as the Cold War deepened throughout the 1950s, Washington showered money on what it saw as the keystone of the eastern shore of Asia, working assiduously to expand the Japanese economy and, in fact, worrying intensely over the American trade surplus. Fear of Japanese instability ran so deep that Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson approved secret financial help to Japanese conservative politicians, some of whom had been accused of war crimes against Americans. Then came the 1960s, and the surplus faded into a deficit. The book reveals how Washington's involvement in Vietnam provided the Japanese government with political cover for quietly pursuing a more independent course. Even in the 1970s, however, with America's one time ward turned into an economic powerhouse, the Nixon administration failed to pay much attention to Tokyo. Schaller shows that Kissinger openly preferred the more charismatic company of Zhou Enlai to that of Japanese technocrats, while economics bored him. The United States almost missed the fact that Japan had developed into a country that could say no, and very loudly.

01 - USA - David E. Levis - Presidents and the Politics of Agency ...ation in the United States Government Bureaucracy 2007.jpg

As the role of the national government has expanded, the national legislature and executive have increasingly delegated authority to administrative agencies to make fundamental policy decisions. How this administrative state is designed, its coherence, its responsiveness, and its efficacy determine, in Robert Dahl’s phrase, "who gets what, when, and how." This study of agency design, thus, has implications for the study of politics in many areas.

Janja A. Lalich - Bounded Choice, True Believers a nd Charismatic Cults (2004).jpg

Heaven's Gate, a secretive group of celibate "monks" awaiting pickup by a UFO, captured intense public attention in 1997 when its members committed collective suicide. As a way of understanding such perplexing events, many have seen those who join cults as needy, lost souls, unable to think for themselves. This book, a compelling look at the cult phenomenon written for a wide audience, dispels such simple formulations by explaining how normal, intelligent people can give up years of their lives--and sometimes their very lives--to groups and beliefs that appear bizarre and irrational. Looking closely at Heaven's Gate and at the Democratic Workers Party, a radical political group of the 1970s and 1980s, Janja Lalich gives us a rare insider's look at these two cults and advances a new theoretical framework that will reshape our understanding of those who join such groups.
Lalich's fascinating discussion includes her in-depth interviews with cult devotees as well as reflections gained from her own experience as a high-ranking member of the Democratic Workers Party. Incorporating classical sociological concepts such as "charisma" and "commitment" with more recent work on the social psychology of influence and control, she develops a new approach for understanding how charismatic cult leaders are able to dominate their devotees. She shows how members are led into a state of "bounded choice," in which they make seemingly irrational decisions within a context that makes perfect sense to them and is, in fact, consistent with their highest aspirations.
In addition to illuminating the cult phenomenon in the United States and around the world, this important book also addresses our pressing need to know more about the mentality of those true believers who take extreme or violent measures in the name of a cause.

John P. Koval, Larry Bennett - The New Chicago, A Social and Cultural Analysis (2006).jpg

For generations, visitors, journalists, and social scientists alike have asserted that Chicago is the quintessentially American city. Indeed, the introduction to "The New Chicago" reminds us that 'to know America, you must know Chicago'. The authors boldly announce the demise of the city of broad shoulders and the transformation of its physical, social, cultural, and economic institutions into a new Chicago. In this wide-ranging book, twenty scholars, journalists, and activists, relying on data from the 2000 census and many years of direct experience with the city, identify five converging forces in American urbanization which are reshaping this storied metropolis. The twenty-six essays included here analyze Chicago by way of globalization and its impact on the contemporary city; economic restructuring; the evolution of machine-style politics into managerial politics; physical transformations of the central city and its suburbs; and, race relations in a multicultural era.

Karla K. Gower - Liberty and Authority in Free Exp ression Law (2002).jpg

By comparing the United States and Canada, Gower suggests that a democracy's concept of the individual, the state, and their relationship affects the tolerance granted political speech. Individuals have greater freedom to criticize the government when there is faith in the individual and fear of the state. In countries where society is emphasized and there is less distrust of the state, individuals must defer to society when their speech threatens the social order. Political thought alone is not the key to understanding freedom of expression law. Instead, broader, deeper themes running through political thought affect tolerance for political speech.

Typy Broni i Uzbrojenia 129 - Stanisław Kochański - Pistolet maszynowy Thompson (1989).jpg

Pistolet maszynowy Thompson, znany także jako Tommy gun – amerykański pistolet maszynowy produkowany przez firmę Auto-Ordnance, rozsławiony w czasach prohibicji w Stanach Zjednoczonych, kiedy bardzo często „występował” w filmach jako broń zarówno gangsterów, jak i policji. Szczególnie popularny wśród żołnierzy amerykańskich podczas II wojny światowej.

Służba

W Stanach Zjednoczonych Thompson był początkowo używany przez siły porządkowe, przede wszystkim przez FBI aż do 1976, kiedy został wycofany ze służby. Wszystkie Thompsony będące własnością rządu amerykańskiego zostały zniszczone z wyjątkiem kilku egzemplarzy muzealnych.

Obecnie oryginalny i sprawny model z 1928 kosztuje około 15 000 $. Łącznie wyprodukowano około 1,7 mln sztuk tej broni, z czego 1 387 134 egzemplarzy uproszczonego modelu M1 używanego w czasie II wojny światowej.

John Feinstein - The Rivalry, Mystery at the Army- Navy Game (2010).jpg

Gr 6-9–Intrepid teen reporters Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson are once again granted extraordinary access to the behind-the-scenes action at a major sports event. In the course of pursuing their journalistic duties, they meet a number of real-life celebrities including journalist Bob Woodward, legendary basketball coaches Mike Krzyzewski and Bobby Knight, politico Ed Rendell, golfer Phil Mickelson, and sports commentator Tony Kornheiser. Even Barack Obama works the kids into his schedule. Since the “mystery” (involving corrupt officials at the Army/Navy game) is not introduced until page 225, there is plenty of room for background on the service academies' rivalry, as well as other seemingly random topics (a story line on Susan Carol's participation in a swim meet, for instance, is dropped into the middle of the narrative, and abruptly abandoned). Even aspiring sports journalists will find it difficult to stick with this meandering effort.

Anthony J. Tambini - Wiring Vietnam, The Electroni c Wall (2007).jpg

For years, the popular press and military pundits have misunderstood and ridiculed the electronic wall. Neither its sophistication nor the number of allied and civilian lives it saved during the Vietnam War are well known. The story can now be told of how military and civilian technicians, sitting in darkened rooms in a faraway country, monitored one of the most sophisticated electronic sensing systems invented. Working with electronic signals generated hundreds of miles from their computer screens, these technicians tracked the progress of enemy vehicle and troop movements flowing from North Vietnam, through Laos and Cambodia, and to destinations as distant as southern South Vietnam.

James D. Johnson - Combat Chaplain, A 30-Year Viet nam Battle (2001).jpg

Johnson's gritty memoir chronicles the eight and a half months he spent in the Mekong Delta serving 350 men of the 9th Infantry Division during the war's heaviest fighting. Chaplain Johnson's personal odyssey begins with his ministering in the field and ends with a return to Vietnam almost 30 years later. As in Tobias Wolff's In Pharaoh's Army (LJ 10/15/94), the enemy is not only the elusive Vietcong but also the awful snake-and-mosquito-ridden estuaries of the Mekong Delta. Johnson, who even performed a few baptisms in the Mekong, praises those 19-year-old heroes he knew, whose lives were so quickly lost in a conflict that consequently everybody wished to forget. His own courage in ministering under deplorable conditions and heavy fire where a dry bed, hot food, no snipers, and no incoming were a blessing was recognized with several Bronze Stars for valor, among other awards.
